Question

Ashley completed reading a history assignment in 4 days.On Monday,she read 16 page.For each of the next 3 days,the number of pages she read increased by 50% over the number of pages she read on the previous day.Greg read the same history assignment,but he read an equal number of pages per day from Monday through Friday.How many pages did Greg read per day for the 5 days? ............ can someone please help me with this question? It’s multiple choice so the answers are either 12.8 or 20 or 26 or 32.5

Answer 1

Monday = 16 pages

Tuesday = 16 + (50% of 16) = 16 + (0.5 x16) = 24 pages

Wednesday = 24 + (50% of 24) = 24 + (0.5 x 24) = 36 pages

Thursday = 36 + (50% of 36) = 24 + (0.5 x 36) = 54 pages.

Total pages = 16 + 24 + 36 + 54 = 130 pages

Pages Greg read per day = 130 ÷ 5 = 26

Answer: Greg read 26 pages per day.
